What’s In Your Bag?
Chana, a seasoned traveler, swears by packing lists.
“Over the years, I have forgotten essentials at home.
Frustrating.
I created a set of packing lists that I now use whenever I pack.
Frustration eliminated.
Now, my luggage and handbags are organized and I am ready to relax on vacation.”
Here is Chana’s list of the ten most important things you need to pack in your handbag on an African Safari.

What's In Your Bag?/ African Safari
Camera and Video Equipment
Africa is a dream destination for photographers both pros and rookies. Beautiful landscapes, outstanding light, sensational wildlife make Africa so photographic.
Don’t miss out. Buy a camera, if you don’t already have one.
It is a good idea to bring your own flashlight or two.
Flashlights can lead you back to your tent in the middle of the pitch black night.
A rechargeable flashlight is ideal but a small battery-powered torch is sufficient. The new LED miners lights fits right on your head and frees up your hands.
A smaller flashlight for emergencies or looking at star maps is also worth considering.
Bonus Tip: Pack Non- Electrical Entertainment Items
Most of the day is spent on long rides. Don't rely on electricity.
Make sure you are prepared.
Take along playing cards, good books and your travel diary.
We recommend that you and your children chronicle your adventures in a travel journal.
